Every year, about 15,000 students perform five jumps from a live aircraft before graduating from the United States Army’s Airborne School, each depending on a parachute to get them safely to the ground. Every T-11 parachute is individually packed and inspected by a team of riggers, who collectively prepare about 75,000 chutes each year. | Insider
